All along this river and its lakes it connects, lake Beresford (800 acres), Lake Woodruff (2,200 acres) and Lake Dexter (1,902 acres) produce excellent catches of largemouth bass, striped bass, sunshine bass, crappie, and bream. Look along runs of vegetation and along structure as this is where the fish hole up. Also look for the mouth of Sringrun creek and Get-Out creek, where the rivers and creeks meet for schooling fish.
